The architecture and design of this boutique hotel was exceptional and a refreshing change from the typical self-catering facilities typical to this part of South Africa. The natural setting and gardens made the experience truly serene as we saw a hornbill and countless other birds as well as warthogs and duiker from breakfast patio. The owners live on the property and checked in with us daily during the delicious breakfast to make sure we were comfortable. The hotel manager was also incredibly helpful with booking local tours and dinner reservations during the busy Christmas holiday. Our stay at Serene-estate was a wonderful holiday treat for our family.
